I took the test on 7/31 and received my scores. Im really bummed out i thought i did better especially on math but I don’t know why it came back so low. Im planning to retake the exam end of September hopefully i can get better scores locked down. What study tips do you guys recommend? Ive done all of my bootcamp tests, but I’m scared that i might give my self false hope because I’ve already done the tests. What should i do please help.
Tbh i have 0 idea why or how they gave me a 4th quartile. Im obviously grateful that i got a 4th quartile but this goes to show that grading is SO subjective and their grading scale makes no sense. I was mumbling ALL of my words, it took me at least 20 seconds to start talking on the video portion and I don’t think i completed a single question fully. I always left out some key details, I forgot names all i did is say some fancy buzz words and thats about it that i got from a 10 min YouTube video. I just did the practice exam right before my test, and skipped half of the questions while doing so. Im not trying to brag my score but i genuinely started laughing when i saw my score cause it made no sense.
Ive been investing slightly less than a 3 years now, putting in money consistently every month 100-200$ at a time in VOO. It really does add up together and start compounding in the end. Cant wait to catch you guys at 100k
So I’m a HUGE fan of both of these cards, not cause of the recent hype i’ve always loved houndoom but never had the adult money that I have now to play with. Which one would you pick grade 9 steelix or grade 7-8 houndoom (aquapolis) . I don’t know about the skyridge one its kinda out of my budget for decent graded copies but i might pick up a ungraded copy. Also which one would be better for longterm. Thanks!
I've been stuck on the same PAT level for so long; even if I do like 70-85% on a test, it's still 430. How were your experiences with the PAT on the actual exam? Easier or similar to practice?
To the people who attend USC, or any other school that has some absurd debt tied to it. How? What are your repayment plans like, how much debt are you in, how do you plan to pay off 700k in debt as a new grad? Im currently applying, only to CA schools (I dont want to move), and i want to know if it’s doable. Obviously yes anyone can put their head down work their ass off and pay it off, but how reasonable is it to go under that much debt. Is it worth it at the end of the day? And what if you want to specialize, those interest rates going to absolutely burry you. Just want to know your stories and your plans of repayment.
Thanks.
14k with some ice, wear it daily never go a day without it.
So I’m like 16 days out from my dat, all of my practice tests reflect the same type of error. Im almost always able to x out all wrong answer choices except one along with one the correct choice but manage to get it wrong. What should I do? Im currently just revisiting the high yield notes and spamming question banks, and I’m able to identify a lot of stuff that i missed. Is there anything else you would recommend, or is my strategy fine? Thanks!
Im using bootcamp and reading comprehension is pretty challenging. My method is using the first 7 minutes of every passage to read the first 4-5 paragraphs, highlight, write, and blot any key ideas on a paper, answer any conceptual questions, and refer to SND when needed. I feel like the passages are weirdly spaced, and all over the place. Reading isn’t my strong suit, on my first test attempt i got a 360 i missed 7 questions after running out of time, 28 correct and 15 incorrect. I wanna know how the DAT was compared to bootcamp in your experience, and do you think my method will hold up during the actual test? What were you scoring on practice and what did you manage to get on the actual exam. Thanks!
Thoughts?
So i am aprox one month out from my DAT. I still haven’t taken any practice tests yet, soon I will though. But I can tell by a LONG SHOT that RC portion is going to be the toughest portion for me. For some reason im just not able to find the correct answer im taking way too long, and getting most of the questions incorrect. Im using bootcamp and the search and destroy method kinda works but it really isn’t cutting it for me. Are there any tips, anyway I can practice more, what should I do to improve on RC. Thanks
Hello to whoever is reading this
Im 21 in college, I have about 12k in the stock market (tech) and about 9.1k in (VOO) in my roth ira. I have roughly about 45k in free cash, live with my parents, they support me, and don’t have anything to pay besides a 400$ car payment. My question is how much of my free cash should I invest if I’m risky and am willing to hold on for a long while. Also is it smart to put my money in lets say a ETF in a regular brokerage account and sell whenever i need (lets say 5 years). I just feel like it’s useless having that much cash just sitting if I’m doing nothing with it.
What do you recommend let me know. Thanks!

Im applying in California im worried that im taking the DAT late. I know my academics and hours in work hold up if i put my DAT score as pending, but how much will i be affected if i take the DAT late? My advisor said that my application will do well on its own because of my grades and work hours. What do you think will I be hit hard because of my late DAT scores? Share your experiences with me, Thanks!
